INTERNS (8 September 2011) INT014 Assessing whether a Plasmodium falciparum tyrosine kinase-like protein kinase (PfTKL2) expressed on the surface of infected red blood cells is a target of natural immunity to malaria City: KILIFI Supervisor: Abdirahman Abdi & Pete Bull Background Development of an effective malaria vaccine remains a global public health priority. Children who grow up in stable malaria transmission areas acquire antibody-mediated disease protective immunity (Marsh 1992) but the critical targets of this immunity remain unknown. A malaria vaccine that can elicit a response similar to that acquired after repeated natural infections could save millions of lives especially of children under 5 years of age. Development of such a vaccine requires identification of the parasite molecules responsible for inducing these protective responses. The P. falciparum genome encodes approximately 5300 proteins, many of which could be targets of the observed disease protective immune response. Identification of potential targets of this immunity is closely linked to efforts to develop malaria vaccines. However, only a small fraction of these potential targets have been evaluated as vaccine candidates (http://who.int/vaccine_research/links/Rainbow/en/index.html). So far efforts have been directed to two main class of proteins: (1) surface proteins of the liver (sporozoite) and blood (merozoite) invasive stages and those secreted during the invasion process, (2) proteins exported to the surface of infected red blood cell (iRBC). A conserved P. falciparum tyrosine kinase-like kinase, PfTKL2 (PF11_0220) was recently shown 202

to be exported to the surface of the iRBC (Singh, Mukherjee et al. 2009). We will express recombinant fragments of PF11_0220 in Escherichia coli and assess whether this protein is a target of natural immunity and hence a vaccine candidate. QUESTION TO BE ADDRESSED BY INTERN Overall objective: To determine whether PfTKL2, an exported P. falciparum protein kinase is a target of naturally acquired antibodies. Specific Objectives: Clone and express fragments derived from the sequence encoding PfTKL2 as soluble recombinant proteins in E. coli. Assess whether these fragments are targets of naturally acquired antibodies using archived plasma samples collected from well-established cohorts for immuno-epidemiological studies. Determine whether the magnitude of the antibody response against PfTKL2 fragment correlates with clinical protection against malaria.

Molecular characterization of Adenovirus in Kilifi and the role of the different serotypes in respiratory illness City: KILIFI Supervisor: Clayton Onyango BACKGROUND Adenoviruses cause a broad spectrum of clinical disease and are responsible for approximately 7 to 8% of reported childhood viral respiratory infections worldwide. Other than respiratory tract infections, adenoviruses are also associated with pharyngoconjuctival fever, conjunctivitis, hemorrhagic cystitis and gastroenteritis in humans. Most adenoviral infections are self limiting, but some have been associated with severe and in some cases fatal outcomes in both immunocompromised and healthy individuals. Up to 55 adenovirus serotypes have been identified and these are classified into 7 species. Serotypes 1-7 have been associated mainly with respiratory illnesses, while serotypes 40 and 41 have been associated with gastroenteritis. There is little information on the epidemiology of adenovirus species and serotypes prevalent in sub Saharan Africa. It is therefore important to identify the different adenoviruses in nasopharyngeal swabs collected from pneumonia admissions (at Kilifi district hospital) as well as those collected at the community level (house hold study) with the aim of establishing their role in respiratory illnesses. Recently, innovative molecular techniques have been modified to rapidly identify the different serotypes with a better precision than the traditional methods of neutralization assays. By targeting adenovirus hexon gene, up-to 51 serotypes can be identified and these include those viruses involved in respiratory illnesses. QUESTION TO BE ADDRESSED BY INTERN What are the dominant adenovirus serotypes in Kilifi? What role does a particular serotype play in a subsequent infection of the same host?

How to ensure both the poor and the rich benefit from health interventions remains a major concern in health and development debates. The KEMRI-Welcome Trust has had a Health Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) for the last 10 years. The KHDSS is an important resource for researchers within the programme. Quite often many researchers have expressed interest in having a socioeconomic index that categorises households in the KHDSS into various socio-economic groups. Until recently (January 2011), complete data on socio-economic variables were not available from the KHDSS. A socio-economic index will enable researchers to explore the relationship between socio-economic status and various health outcomes. The overall aim of this project is to develop a socio-economic index that can clearly distinguish households within the Kilifi HDSS. QUESTION TO BE ADDRESSED BY INTERN The intern will be expected to conduct a scientific literature review on the range of variables used to measure socio-economic status in developing countries Define and model a socio-economic index that clearly distinguishes households within the Kilifi HDSS Compare the performance of the socio-economic index developed with others identified in the literature, especially those used in Kenya.

These summarized but informal procedures which are largely borrowed from the long formal procedure, are normally aimed at shortening the measuring processes and also at omitting steps perceived to be irrelevant. Regularly, health workers measure the weight of a fully/half dressed children contrary to the instructions or measure the length of children with one leg pressing onto the leg board and not two legs as instructed or using eyeballing to estimate the mid- point of the upper arm in taking MUAC instead of using the tape measure/string as instructed. There is currently little information on how these informal procedures affect the accuracy of the outcome measure and eventually their effect on their interpretation. QUESTION TO BE ADDRESSED BY INTERN Are there significant differences in the estimation of MUAC using the formal compared to informal procedure of estimating the midpoint?

BACKGROUND Kenya has identified the need to improve birth outcomes as a public health priority. Based on current estimates, deaths during the first 28 days of life exceed the entire Millennium Develop Goal target for childhood mortality (MDG4). Whilst prematurity and fetal growth restriction are two of the key determinants of newborn survival, their relative prevalence in the majority of Kenya and sub-Saharan Africa remains unknown and data reporting the causes of stillbirth and perinatal death are limited. However, at least 60% of the 4 million neonatal deaths each year are associated with low birth weight (LBW). Causes of LBW include intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), preterm delivery and genetic/chromosomal abnormalities. The contribution of risk factors such as malaria, maternal undernutrition, HIV and anaemia to abnormal fetal growth, and how the latter relates to infant growth patterns in sSA is not known. A greater understanding of how these risk factors interact with fetal growth is required to guide interventions targeted at reducing the burden of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Recently, Kilifi District hospital (KDH) became one of the sites for INTERGROWTH-21st, an international study which uses ultrasound to date pregnancies and assess fetal growth accurately. By measuring 207

neonatal/infant growth accurately and collecting data on the health status of the pregnant women, the study will provide the first comprehensive description of the impact of maternal under-nutrition, malaria, HIV and anaemia upon birthweight and pregnancy outcomes in Kenya and other parts of the world. A unique feature of the study as it is being implemented in Kilifi is an assessment of how the introduction of ultrasound technology for routine antenatal care (ANC) will affect care pathways for patients within KDH. This socio-behavioral component of the Intergrowth study is concerned with investigating the factors that influence the use of ANC and maternal and child health services (MCH) and the impact of the introduction of ultrasound scans on the perceptions and behaviours of women attending these services. It is also concerned with the perceptions and practices of the providers of care and identification of factors that enhance and/or constrain the delivery of quality services and may impact on the implementation of ultrasound scanning under routine ANC conditions. Data for this component of the study is being collected through a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods such as observations (structured and unstructured), in-depth interviews (with providers and pregnant women) and group discussions. This internship will utilize part of the qualitative data already collected and will take part in additional qualitative data collection activities to provide information on the factors that influence the use of ANC and MCH services by women in Kilifi District and to understand the challenges and facilitating factors that affect health care provider practices and impact on the quality of services they provide. The intern will also conduct a literature review of relevant studies and undertake qualitative data analysis. The intern will be supported by a senior social scientist (Dr Caroline Jones), and the PI of the broader study (Dr Bryn Kemp). SKILLS TO BE ACQUIRED BY THE INTERN Reviewing the literature; An understanding of the concepts and methods used in qualitative research Qualitative data collection; analysis & interpretation Scientific writing and presentation skills.

There are a number of studies on the strategies for improving adherence to anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) in patients with epilepsy (PWE). Interventions of education and counselling of PWE have shown mixed success. However, behavioural interventions such as the use of intensive reminders and 'implementation intention' interventions provided more positive effects on adherence (Ai-Aqeel & AlShabhan, 2011). Studies have however overlooked the potential confounding effects of education level of the PWE in adherence studies. A recent study in the US showed that the main cause of non-adherence was socioeconomic status (Modi et al., 2011) while another pointed to forgetfulness as the reason for non-adherence (Hovinga et al., 2008). Forgetfulness is a cognitive trait and so we speculate that level of education could be associated with adherence to AEDs. We have drug levels of PWE in the Kilifi DSS which were collected as part of a previous study. We intend to invite these PWE to undertake a brief cognitive test and answer questions on their education background. QUESTION TO BE ADDRESSED BY INTERN Is there a relationship between AED drug adherence and education level Is there a relationship between AED drug adherence and performance on cognitive test.

This was done by comparing gene transcription levels in parasites taken from a high malaria transmission (Kisumu) vs. a low transmission area (Kilifi) using whole-genome microarrays. We found some of the parasites genes were consistently up-regulated in high transmission areas suggesting that these genes may be adaptive to high levels of immunity. QUESTION TO BE ADDRESSED BY INTERN Using real-time PCR, transcription levels on each of these candidate adaptive genes will be performed on samples taken from an independent sample from these populations. This will confirm whether the results from the microarray assays are representative of what is found in the parasite populations from these high and low transmission areas.

There are however few studies on the prevalence of significant medical errors in low-income countries. The 8 hospitals dataset produced by our previous cluster RCT provides over 12,000 observations of patient care over more than 2 years from 8 hospitals across Kenya. Details of drug choice, drug dose and route of administration provide an opportunity to assess the prevalence of errors and examine whether training is associated with a decline in errors. At the same time developing the methods for these analyses will allow their future use on data to be collected in studies of 10 hospitals planned for late 2012.

In particular we have established that data on inpatient mortality / morbidity is of such poor quality that it is uninformative. Ideally such data would not only provide accurate and timely M&M reporting but would also allow evaluation of the uptake of new clinical policies such as the requirement to restrict use of anti-malarial drugs to children with a positive malaria diagnostic. In collaboration with the MoH we continue to evaluate potentially useful approaches to improving data collection. Recent success with Open Clinica in support of a pneumonia RCT suggests that this system may be used, if adapted and linked with a data entry clerk, to provide timely M&M and process of care data from inpatient settings. We intend to pilot such a system. Developing the methods for such data collection will allow their future use in studies of 10 hospitals planned for late 2012.

Targeted larval control strategies have shown the potential of being effective, low cost and with low environmental impact and consequently highly successful due to the limited mobility of the pre-adult mosquito stages. Larviciding is one of the main strategies for decimating malaria vectors, Anopheles species, and biological larvicides provide a promising alternative to the non-specific and often environmentally harmful chemical larvicides. However, prior knowledge and understanding of the efficacy and effectiveness of these bio-larvicides is crucial to their successful adoption and implementation in malaria vector control programs. The experiments in this study will explore the efficacy and effectiveness of three bio-larvicides under different concentrations in artificial and natural/field mosquito breeding habitats. The survivorship of the targeted mosquitoes will be evaluated and molecular analysis of the Anopheles species carried out to determine the identity of the mosquitoes targeted in the natural environments. QUESTION TO BE ADDRESSED BY INTERN What is the efficacy of the bio-larvicides against Anopheles mosquitoes under artificial and field conditions How effective are different bio-larvicides in controlling malaria vectors How long do these biolarvicides remain effective?

RSV circulates as two main antigenic Groups (A and B) and a set of genotypes. This variation may enable immune evasion. The virus first encounters the human host in the mucosa of the upper respiratory tract and it is here that acquired immunity from prior infection can act to prevent re-infection and subsequent transmission to other individuals or select for escape variants. Both IgG and IgA immunoglobulin types are found in the mucosa of the upper respiratory tract. The nature of the primary and secondary mucosal immune response, particularly in relation to the infecting variant, is not well understood. Archived blood and nasopharyngeal specimens are available from household cohort studies and childhood admissions. QUESTIONS TO BE ADDRESSED BY INTERN What are the kinetics of the RSV-specific IgA and IgG mucosal immune responses in primary and secondary infections? Is there a variant specific mucosal IgA/IgG immune response to RSV?

In paediatric pneumonia hospital admissions a respiratory virus can be detected in excess of 60% of cases, and in 10-15% of these more than one virus can be identified. The causal association between virus presence in the upper respiratory tract and the observed disease is questionable. Where more than one virus is present the question of which, if any, is the cause of the childs illness is uncertain. There is some evidence that viral load is related to disease severity. Interaction between concurrent viral infections has been proposed to result in enhanced disease in some instances. Molecular diagnosis of 15 or more respiratory viruses using Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (rt-PCR) has been undertaken on nasal specimens from childhood admissions to Kilifi District Hospital since 2007. Rt-PCR provides semi-quantitative data on viral load in the sample. These data provide a rich source to investigate viral interactions and disease associations. QUESTIONS TO BE ADDRESSED BY INTERN Does viral quantity provide insight into disease association? 215

ITNs have been shown to reduce significantly malaria infection and all-cause mortality. Significant investments have been put in scaling up ITNs over the past 10 years in East Africa with recent studies reporting substantial decline in malaria burden. However, quantifying the actual proportion of this decline attributable to ITNs is complex and requires the assembly of both infections an ITN coverage data at similar time-point of a long time series.

City: KILIFI Supervisor: Anthony Ngugi & Caroline Kathomi BACKGROUND Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders affecting close to 70 million people worldwide, 90% who live in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMIC). Epilepsy, particularly active convulsive epilepsy (ACE) is associated with psycho-social problems and decreased life-expectancy. In Africa, there are only a few studies that examine the mortality of epilepsy. These studies suggest that mortality is increased, but the magnitude is unclear, and the risk factors and causes of death (COD) have not been identified. The COD in epilepsy can be classified as directly related to epilepsy, related to the underlying cause of epilepsy or unrelated to epilepsy. In the West, deaths related directly or indirectly to epilepsy are infrequent, but these causes may be more frequent in LMIC. While industrialized countries utilize postmortem records to provide data on COD, these records are often not available in LMIC. The use of verbal autopsies (VA) in attributing COD in epilepsy has been encouraged in LMIC where often less than half of the deaths are registered and the deceased person often received no medical attention. VA involves the interviewing of family members or caregivers of the deceased about the circumstances of a death and in some cases care seeking behaviour prior to the event. Their use in epilepsy however raises some important methodological issues, particularly with regard to robustness in detecting less well known COD such as sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), which 217

requires a full physical autopsy to rule out other COD. This method however has potential advantages over death certification in that it does not require medical expertise in data collection, can be used for both children and adults and is relatively cheap and easy to administer. There are several VA tools in use in LMIC, all of which differ considerably in structure (design, layout and sequence of questions) but not on content. One review identified 18 VA tools that are currently in use in which key filter questions on signs and symptoms were not substantially different. In Kilifi, the immediate causes and mode of death have been investigated in a cohort with ACE using the standard WHO VA tool (WHO 1999 - International Standard Verbal Autopsy Questionnaires) which has been extended to include more epilepsy specific items. However, the screening parameters of the extended tool have not been established. We aim for the intern to conduct a validation study of this tool against deaths (within this cohort) that occurred at the Kilifi District Hospital. QUESTION TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE INTERN Validity of the tool in detecting cause-specific mortality in epilepsy. Validity in classifying deaths as epilepsy related or otherwise.

218

BACKGROUND Burkitts lymphoma (BL) is an undifferentiated non-Hodgkins lymphoma that accounts for approximately 40-60% of all childhood malignancies in tropical Africa. There are three varieties of this aggressive B-cell lymphoma have been described: endemic, sporadic and non-Burkitts lymphoma. The endemic version is found in equatorial Africa where two predisposing factors malaria and Epstein Barr virus are common. This form predominantly presents with tumours of the jaw in children. There are three known predisposing factors for Burkitts lymphoma: Epstein Barr virus (EBV) infection, malarial infection and chromosomal translocation usually involving chromosomes 8 and 14. BL is the most common childhood malignancy seen in equatorial Africa where both. The coastal region of Kenya provides an ideal backdrop for studying the epidemiology of Burkitts lymphoma. The coastal area is characterized by P. falciparum transmission, but over the last 4 years the incidence of malaria has decreased significantly. Since 1993 a median of 4 cases per year have been admitted to Kilifi District Hospital, but in the last 2.5 years there has not been one case admitted. Whether this decrease in admissions of Burkitts Lymphoma is related to the decrease in the incidence of malaria is not known. QUESTIONS TO BE ADDRESSED BY INTERN Has the incidence of Burkitts Lymphoma significantly decreased on the coast of Kenya? If so, is this decrease associated with the reduction in the incidence of malaria?

The impact of cotrimoxazole prophylaxis on neutrophil microbial kiling City: KILIFI Supervisor: Jay Berkley & Kelsey Jones BACKGROUND We are currently conducting a clinical trial of cotrimoxazole prophylaxis in severely malnourished children who are highly susceptible to severe infection (CTX trial). There is some evidence that, in addition to a direct antibiotic effect, one mechanism of action of cotrimoxazole may be to improve intracellular bacterial killing. Neutrophil leukocytes are critical components of the early innate immune response. They ingest phagocytose and kill extracellular bacteria and fungi in a process that depends on the production of reactive oxygen species. This project aims to determine if cotrimoxazole affects microbial killing. The intern will be working as a member of a small but busy immunology group and will benefit from daily support and advice from the supervisors. Scientific and ethical approvals for the project have already been obtained. QUESTION TO BE ADDRESSED Y INTERN Using both a traditional microbiological method and a new flow cytometry-based killing assay, does cotrimoxazole prophylaxis alter neutrophil bacterial killing?
